kristin kreuk street fighterStreet Fighter: The Legend Of Chun-Li Poster!
Kristin Kreuk (Lana) missed five episodes of Smallville Season Seven to star in the movie Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, which is due for release in February 2009.

The poster art for the film has appeared on a Japanese promotional site (which explains it being in Japanese). Kristin looks fantastic, although our hopes for the movie itself aren't very high.

Since the movie is due out in just four months, a trailer should be coming soon.

gothamsiteMore Expansion For The KryptonSite Network...
With the announcement that a TV series featuring the adventures of DC Comics' Dick Grayson before he was Robin is in development, combined with the great amount of forum activity we've had on the subject, we decided to take the opportunity to gather all of the news (so far) into one handy place. GothamSite will hopefully cover The Graysons in much the same way that KryptonSite has with Smallville, and we figured it best to get an early start. (We just hope with the name that Gotham City comes into play somewhere!)

robin graysonsA Message From Souders & Peterson Regarding "The Graysons"
Smallville's executive producers Brian Peterson and Kelly Souders have written in with a message to the fans at KryptonSite, clearing up some reports that had been made implying that Smallville may be on its way out...

Dear Smallville fans,

As news and rumors swirl around the development of The Graysons for the CW, we have every intention of letting you, our fans, be the first to know the reality. Never have we been so committed to the continuing success of Smallville as we are to seasons 8 and 9. While we are extremely excited to be working hand-in-hand with Wonderland, Warner Bros. and the CW to create the origin story of Dick Grayson, it has never been intended as a replacement for Smallville, as is speculated in some media. The cast, crew, writers and producers are all working full-steam ahead on a story-line for Clark that allows for seasons of further trials and adventures for our favorite hero. As always, we all have you to thank for achieving eight years of this amazing show that Al and Miles created, and we're looking far beyond!

Brian Peterson & Kelly Souders

robin grayson dickSmallville's Souders & Peterson Fly With "The Graysons"
The CW may have found their Smallville replacement, or at least a companion series if the show should go for another year.

Variety has announced that Smallville executive producers Brian Peterson and Kelly Souders will soon be taking on another DC Comics legend - Robin - in a series called "The Graysons." Supernatural executive producer McG will also be involved.

Not many details are known about the project at this time. Obviously this series will take place before Robin meets Batman, and before his acrobatic family is murdered. The series will feature young Dick Grayson, who for some reason is using the nickname "D.J.," as "he will face challenges involving first loves, young rivals and his family as he grows up."

Stay tuned for more information when and if it becomes available.

Season Premiere Ratings: 4.38 Million!
Season 8 of Smallville premiered to great ratings despite not getting the same on-air promotion as Dawn Ostroff's favorite series Gossip Girl and 90210.

The show performed especially well in several key demographics. Supernatural - which followed Smallville - was also off to a very good start. (On the chart below, the show may still seem on the bottom, but keep in mind certain demographics in which it scored ahead of some of the competition, and even came in #1.)

Things are still down from last year's 5-million viewer season premiere, but are still impressive considering the lack of on-air promotion and the fact that some very popular actors from previous seasons are no longer with the show.
